Vancouver Whitecaps vs Nashville Prediction: Another Stalemate on the cards

Vancouver Whitecaps welcome Nashville to BC Place for another exciting MLS clash. These two teams are meeting each other for the 2nd time in their history. Their first and only encounter ended in a draw with Nashville playing at home. Hopefully, both sides have learnt from the first encounter and can make changes to pick up a win in this match. Nashville are 6th in the Western Conference table and Vancouver are 2 points behind in 8th place. A win for either side will go a long way to help both teams.
